Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
SPRINGDALE, AR - Corpus Christi's three-game win streak came to a halt Sunday as the Naturals secured a split of the six-game series by besting the Hooks, 9-2 at Arvest Ballpark.
Corpus Christi third baseman Austin Deming turned in his first professional multi-homer game, blasting a 407-foot salvo to straightaway center field in the third. In the fifth, Deming, cracked an opposite-field home run that landed inside the right-field bullpen, giving the BYU product four round-trippers in 11 Double-A games.
